About Versions of Product Offers

Product offer versions work differently from product versions. Product offer versions affect only the Start Date, End Date, and Active fields of the product. Every other aspect of a product offer is uniform for all active versions of the product offer. The user must refresh the cache after making any changes to the product offer definition, using the Clear Cache or Refresh Cache menu option.

These menu options are available for all the views that show versioned objects in the Administration - Product Offer screen: Versions view, Response-Actions view, Recommendations view, Compatibility view, Eligibility view, and Product Line Compatibility view.

If you choose the Clear Cache option, then the application refreshes the cache for all the child objects of the product offer, such as recommendations, compatibility rules, eligibility rules, and so on. The application calls the RefreshBC method of the Row Set Transformation Toolkit.
